The trees were in sharp focus, vivid and highly stereoscopic, not like a flat picture, and they maintained their correct relative perspectives as they slowly passed from right to left, which made me feel exactly that I was present in that forest. My eyes were closed, but I was fully wide awake ... ." The Author, Chapter A (ii) "I found myself within a forest dark ... I cannot well repeat how I entered, so full was I of slumber at the moment ... But still we were passing onward through the forest, the forest, say I, of thick crowded ghosts." Dante (1300) "... in the forest of the night ..." William Blake (~1800) “When I took ayahuasca, which contains N,N-dimethyl tryptamine (DMT), I saw a dense Amazonian forest just outside my window, instead of the normal suburban view outside!” A taker of DMT (2012) [NOT the present author!] (The natural brain neurotransmitter serotonin is closely related to the DMT molecule, and it can be converted into DMT by the pineal gland when suitably stimulated.) C.S. Lewis * wrote that at the back of the wardrobe, the entrance to Narnia was just beyond some trees there, which may have been a vision which he himself had experienced? In an actual wardrobe, CO2 narcosis, known to submariners, would occur. Very unwise!

There are states of vastly greater awareness which one can enter briefly and then return to normal living, enriched, enlivened and enhanced." - C. Maxwell Cade & N. Coxhead.

PREFACE This book is for those who wish to know what may lie beyond the “normal”: There is something beyond what our normal 5 senses reveal. The aim of this book is to explain drug-free methods for this investigation. These are relevant both to mind-states leading to inventive ability in technology, and, to entry to advanced meditative mind-states. VISUALISATION: An exploration of what lies beyond the normal 5 senses: The author describes how he entered a state of consciousness beyond the normal 5 senses, in which he was simultaneously awake and asleep according to an EEG (electro-encephalograph) recording, which allowed perception of vivid visual images. This expanded third edition describes this major new advance in Chapter A (ii), a very rapid method for obtaining visual imagery, while wide awake, for those who can get little or no imagery with closed eyes. This method is new, easy, quick, and really works, and was found to be effective in the first few attempts, requiring easily-constructed low-cost circuitry, and it only needed very passive attention. The simple device captures the user’s attention due to its entertaining display of flashing lights, so no advanced ability of mind control techniques was required. Important: See Warning on last page (page 188). --o0o-- From time immemorial, visualisation seems to always have been the prerogative of a few artists or advanced meditators. For the average person, uncontrolled dreams were the only source of visual creativity. The mingling of science and art can be seen in the inspired paintings, sculptures and inventions of Leonardo Da Vinci and Michael Angelo (The Creation in Rome and David statue in Florence). But with the industrial revolution, further separation of the two occurred; logic and analysis took dominance. As we progress and modernise our world, this gap leaves us empty and isolated from our inner being. We probe for ways to "find" ourselves. Yoga, meditation, chanting etc are prescribed, but in our busy lives, our progress using these traditional methods is slow.
